Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nutrex Research Amino Drive Black Gashin' Grape is a supplement that contains calcium. Our assessment is based solely on the calcium content, as data for other ingredients in this product is not available. For general health, calcium is essential, but you need to be careful with dosing and potential interactions.
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key that allows your muscles to unwind after a workout and your bones to stay strong.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium in general, FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels in your blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because data on the specific calcium dosage in this product is not available, we cannot recommend a specific intake level. Check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving and consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of the medications listed above.
